I thought Unix and Linux filesystems were u/g/o: user, group, other.
- user permissions apply to owner of a file or directory
- group permissions apply to the group owner of a file or directry
- world permissions apply to all other users who aren't owner or in the
owning group
e.g., if you do this:
echo "hello" > my_file.txt
chmod 007 my_file.txt
You cannot read or write to that file... OTHER people, who are not you
(and not in 'your' group) can, however.
$ ls -l my_file.txt
-------rwx 1 kendrick kendrick 6 2005-03-03 23:52 my_file.txt
$ cat my_file.txt
cat: my_file.txt: Permission denied
but then:
$ su otheruser
Password:
$ cat my_file.txt
hello
Now, this may be different that what we're talking about WRT Samba, though.

I just wanted to point out my understanding ('ugo' vs 'ugw'), in case anyone
here cared. ;^)
